Introduction
EM specialist is the first Doctor whom the patient meets on entering the hospital.
The kind of care patient receives in the ER becomes the mirror of the quality of the service for the patient in the rest of the hospital.
The EM specialist has to appreciate the importance of the Golden hour and Platinum minutes to minimize morbidity and mortality.
The EM specialist has to tackle
� Acute problems � Mass Casualties � Agonized patients and relatives � Medico- legal issues
The patient spends 1st few minutes or hours only in the ER
The aim of this course is to train the Medical Graduate in the field of Emergency Medicine .
Knowledge & practical skills shall be acquired by the candidates in various specialties so that
the candidate will be competent & confident to manage all types of cases attending the Emergency room. He will be given special training of soft skills like
� Communication skill � Crowd management � Breaking a bad news � Stress management for self & the patient’s relatives � Management of Stressful situation � Social Problems
They should be well versed with all types of EM equipments
They will be trained in emergency ultrasound.
They will be trained in basic research methodology so as to enable them to conduct fundamental & applied research.
They will be trained in teaching methods so that they can take teaching assignments.

CURRICULUM
The curriculum is based on inputs from guidelines from society of academic EM, Council of EM residency directors and curriculum of George Washington University Curriculum also includes topics from primary text book of EM. A Comprehensive Study Guide 7th edition edited by J. E. Tintinalli. In addition, Rosen’s Emergency Medicine Concepts and Clinical Practice. Clinical Procedures in emergency medicine by J. R. Roberts & Jerris Hedges will be used to teach the procedures in EM.
Goals
To transform the medical graduate into an all rounder who can handle all kinds of emergencies effectively.
Educational Objectives
To empower the EM student with knowledge, skill and tools required to handle the ER. This will require
� Medical skills as well as � Soft skills and � Equipment handling
Soft Skills
� Cognitive and psychomotor skills � Empathy � Stress management for self as well as patient’s relatives. � Management of stressful situations � Communication skills (e.g. Breaking bad news) � Medico-Legal knowledge and skills � Social skills
